We understand the need to keep underage people from acting in porn.
We do! What we do not understand is why this has to mean a possible end
for user-generated porn sites like YouPorn and PornoTube. Regina Lynn
at Wired explains some stuff about a proposed change to 18 U.S.C. 2257
blah-dee-blah, and says that every naked web star to
grace a video-sharing site will have to submit a photo ID and state
their full name, date of birth, etc. to prove they're of age. Lynn
thinks this is bunk because it will mean the end of adult social
networking sites and discourage people from getting on online and,
for once, we agree with her when she says, good luck, folks. But deep down, we worry that "regulate" will just mean
"shut down and leave Nicole stranded and crying for free porn."
